Finding photos on Flickr

Note:

We shall use this Sinatra app to find freely reusable photos.

The Flickr photo-sharing web site has a huge number of photos and provides web services for searching them. Many of the photos are licensed under Creative Commons licenses, which give you permission to reuse the photos under various restrictions.

Type a name (like "elephants") below, and this web service will find an appropriate picture, and return a thumbnail version of the picture.
